GEORGE J. MARION, OF COITER, ARKANSAS, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALL? TO ALVA M, SMITH, O1" GUSHMAN, ARKANSAS.

STOVE-OVEN.

Application filed November 19, 1918.

To a]? "whom it may concern:

i e it known that Gnonon J. MARION, a citizen of the Caited States, residing at Cotter, in the county of Baxter and State of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stove-Ovens, of which the tollowi is a specification.

This invention comprehends generally improvements in that class of inventions known as stoves and furnaces, and more particularly relates to a stove oven.

1" is the primary aim and object of the ore-s0. invention to provide a device of the mentioned character wherein a false nottom is provided for the oven and prefer- :i connected to the door so that it may be moved outwardly and over the door upon e openi thereof to consequently draw nc halting-pan adapted to be disposed on the false bottom from the oven when desired.

More particularly the present invention consists in the provision of a device of the above mentioned character wherein improved manually operable latch means is mounted on the door for cooperating with the false bottom to either assure of the movement of the false bottom outwardly simultaneously with the opening of the door or for permitting of the opening of the door without moving the false bottom.

Among the other aims and objects of this invention may be recited the provision of a device of the character described with a view to compactness, and in which the parts are few, the construction simple and the cost of production low and the efficiency high.

Other improvements and novel details in the construction and arrangement of the various parts of the apparatus will be brought out more in detail in the description to follow. which for a clear understanding of the invention should be considered in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, and wherein is disclosed for the purpose of illustration a convenient and satisfactory embodiment of the invention. It is to be noted in this connection that minor changes in the construction and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the principle of operation of the various parts.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 8, 1921.

Serial No. 263,201.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings Figure l is a transverse section taken through the device showing the lame closed.

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the door open and the false bottom extended.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 83 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view taken on line 4 l of Fig. 1 in a direction in which the arrows point.

Fig. 5 is a detail view of the device.

Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the above described views, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now, more particularly, to the accompanying drawings there is provided a stove generally designated 1, the oven 2 of which is of a rectangular configuration and has its open front end of the body thereof removably closed by a door 3 hinged as at 4: to the forward edge of the bottom of the body of the oven.

Disposed on the upper surface of the bot-. tom of the oven is a false bottom 5 which is formed on its opposite side edges with opposed ears 6, while pivotally connected to these ears are the inner ends of spaced rods 7, the outer ends of which are formed with T-heads 8 which are designed for reception with the spaced vertically arranged flanged guides generally designated 9. Carried on the inner surface of. the door 3, each of these flanged guides in the present instance consists of a plate like attaching body 10 having opposed flanges 11 at the sides thereof and also flanges or stops 12 which prevent accidental displacement of the heads 8 from the flanged guides.

With a view toward providing the improved means for either assuring of the maintenance of the rods 7 substantially rigid with the flanged guides so that the false bottom will move outwardly upon the opening of the door or permitting of the sliding movement of the heads 8 in the guides and allowing the door to be opened without removing the false bottom, there is provided a handle 13, the shank 14.- of which is turnably mounted in the door 3, while connected to the inner end of the shank 14 is a cross arm 15. Pivotally connected to the opposite ends of the cross arm are latch bars '16, the outer portions of which are slidable When the handle is turned in one direction the rods 16 will be moved so as to lie in the path of movement of the heads 8 and lock the heads near the upper ends of the flanged guides 9 so as to assure of the false bottom 0 being drawn outwardly from the oven and over the inner surface of the door 3 upon the opening of the door to consequently draw the pan adapted to be disposed on the false bottom out of the oven thus obviating the possibility of burning the hands of the cook, et cetera. WVhen the handle is turned in the opposite direction the bars 16 will permit a passage of the heads through the flanged guides until they abut the flanges 12 per-,

Initting of the opening of the door 3 Without moving the false bot-tom.

It is thought in vieu of the foregoing description that a further detailed description of the operation of the invention is entirely unnecessary. Likewise it is believed that the advantages of the invention will be readily 2 apparent.

What is claimed is In a device of the character described, a body, a swingably mounted door connected to the bottom thereof, a false bottom dis- 3 posed Within the body, flanged guides connected to the inner surface of the door, rods sivingingiy connected to the opposite sides of the false bottom, heads on the outer ends of the rods and slidable in the guides, a 3 handle having its shank turnably mounted in the door, a cross arm on the inner end of the shank of the handle, latch bars pivoted to the opposite ends of the cross bar and operably mounted in the flanged guides so that 4 when the handle is turned the bars will be moved to lork the heads in the guides or to permit of sliding movement of the heads in the guides.
